Horseback Riding in Jordan 2025
Though camels and donkeys are more authentic, the most convenient way to explore Jordan is still an Arabic horse
Best time: March–May | September–November
If you lack the patience to endure the quiet leisurely trip atop of a camel or even worse—on a donkey, you can opt for a more ordinary but dynamic horseback riding holiday. The sandy white and pink landscapes which are justly called moonscapes are truly magnificent, especially the Wadi Rum desert with its sandstone mountains, caravan roads, weathered plateaus, and of course genuine Bedouin dwellers. Another prominent site to be explored on horseback is definitely the pink and sandy ancient Petra is known as the mysterious 'Hidden City.' The optimal climate conditions for such an adventure is spring and autumn.
